Chapter 748: Encounters

Xiao Yungui sat alone in the Qianqiu Pavilion in a daze, Hong Yun'er and Han Baoying returned to him to wake him up, Hong Yun'er asked, "Is Xuanji gone?" Xiao Yungui nodded, and Han Baoying sighed and said, "Although I am not very familiar with Sister Xuanji, I have also heard her deeds, and she is indeed a strange woman. ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, let out a long breath and changed the topic and smiled: "Baoying, let's talk about it, tell me what you saw and heard when you went to Xinjiang this time, how is your father-in-law?" Are all the princes of the Wing Hall okay? ”

Han Baoying nodded, her eyes turned red and said, "My father-in-law and the others are fine, but Elder Huang Yukun and Brother Shi Zhenji are not very good." Lord Huang has been sick for a long time, and Brother Shi Zhenji has not been well since he was injured in the last time he was injured in the back bandits, and the two of them couldn't see it. ”

Xiao Yungui stared at him and exclaimed, "Why didn't Da Hu say these things in the report? This king immediately asked Yao Yuan to go to Xinjiang to pick up the two of them and raise them in the capital. Yao Yuan is now the newly established Minister of Health, in charge of the country's medical system, and under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the medical system began to be popularized, and doctors across the country must be registered and trained and assessed before they are qualified to practice medicine, and even among the villages, rural medical service stations have begun to be built, hoping to improve the physical fitness of the people, protect the health of the people, and prolong the life expectancy of the people. However, after several years of development, the medical system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only available at the municipal level for the time being.

Han Baoying shook his head and said, "Master Huang said, he won't leave the wing hall even if he dies...... Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, immediately let Yao Yuan prepare, set up a medical team, and go to Xinjiang." ”

The leader said a word, his subordinates ran and broke their feet, and Yao Yuan received the emperor's edict that day. Elite soldiers and strong generals were immediately dispatched from the Tai Hospital, the Beijing Health Bureau, and major hospitals in Beijing to form a medical team of more than 80 people, bringing a large number of medical supplies and medicines to Xinjiang.

Yao Yuan's action started the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's support operations in the northwest region, involving medical care, education, science and technology, culture and other aspects, although the wing hall has achieved great military success, but the wing hall in the above achievements far behind the west hall. Therefore, since 1865, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to support the development of the frontier in China, and professional teams composed of various types and industries went to the frontiers of the motherland, so that Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet, Yunnan and other border places have been supported by professional talents, and various livelihood undertakings have been developed, at least not too far behind the mainland.

After Yao Yuan arrived in Xinjiang, he failed to catch up with the treatment of Huang Yukun, and he died of illness in Yili fifteen days before Yao Yuan's arrival, and Huang Yukun was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Dingguo. However, Shi Zhenji was rescued. His injuries were alleviated by Yao Yuan's arrival, and he recovered after three months of recuperation.

Yao Yuan stayed in Xinjiang for a year, where he organized the training of medical personnel, imparted medical knowledge, and established the same hospitals in Yili and other cities as in China, improving the medical situation in Xinjiang and other places. After returning to Beijing, the Ministry of Health sends batches of domestic doctors and nurses to Xinjiang and other border areas every year to help the local government improve local medical conditions. Eventually became a regular rule.

Yao Yuan and Mo Jiana, a husband and wife, have been working to improve medical conditions and develop drugs. Discover new types of germs and viruses. In 1889, Yao Yuan accidentally contracted pneumonic plague while studying pneumonic plague, and finally died, and Mo Jiana also died of an unknown virus a few years later, both of whom finally gave their lives for the pharmaceutical industry, and were later recognized as the pioneers in the field of microbiology in the world and the ancestors of modern medicine in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China.

After arranging Yao Yuan's affairs. Han Baoying's eyes were red and he bowed deeply to Xiao Yungui and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, you still have the Wing Hall in your heart." Xiao Yungui said: "They are all the people of a country, why should they divide the wing hall and the west hall?" How about Dacell? ”

Han Baoying said: "My father-in-law is a very good old man, and he has just married the third princess recently, who is the little princess of the Kazakh Kingdom, plus the princess of the two big tribes in Xinjiang and Hohan. The father-in-law has enveloped the larger forces around him. ”

The corners of Xiao Yungui's mouth twitched slightly, this guy secretly envied Shi Dakai's affair, Xinjiang girls and Central Asian girls were married, and they must still be young girls, this time Shi Dakai is not shallow. Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Yungui's appearance, and snorted: "It's not that I don't let you take a concubine, what Mu Yinghong, what Zhou Xiuying, I have already asked you to take you into the palace, you are unwilling, what does this look mean now?" ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled awkwardly and said, "What's the matter, I'm just thinking that the sacrifice is a bit big in order to entrap those tribes." Han Baoying said: "Your Majesty, I can't say that, my father-in-law still likes the three new brides, and I can see that he will treat them sincerely." Then Han Baoying grinned and said, "Your Majesty, don't divert the topic, why haven't you accepted Miss Mu and Miss Zhou into the palace all the time?" ”

Xiao Yungui said with a bitter face: "Neither of them wants to enter the palace, I told them, they said that they don't want to be locked up in the palace, they still want to live freely outside." Hong Yun'er snorted again: "What words? What woman doesn't want to have a name? Don't think I don't know, you raised your two daughters outside because you thought that your wife was not as good as a concubine, and a concubine might as well steal! ”

Xiao Yungui said slightly angrily: "How can you say that? Aren't you thinking about fulfilling the reputation of our husband and wife and erecting a model of monogamy for the country? I feel sorry for others, okay, you said so, I will issue an edict tomorrow to admit the two of them into the palace! Hong Yun'er sneered: "You make an order, I will help you prepare for the concubine ceremony immediately!" ”

Seeing that the living treasure couple was arguing, Han Baoying hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, the queen, Baoying has left beforehand, if you have anything to discuss, don't quarrel anymore." After saying goodbye, she left in a hurry, and she didn't know what to do.

Leaving the palace, Han Baoying went straight to Li Xiucheng's garrison headquarters and went to Xinjiang for a few months, still thinking about him.

When he arrived at the garrison headquarters on the outskirts of Beijing, Han Baoying saw him in Li Xiucheng's office, and when he saw Han Baoying coming, Li Xiucheng hurriedly greeted him and said, "You're back, I still think that you are afraid that you will miss the wedding of Chen Yucheng and Zeng Wanmei." Han Baoying said with a smile: "After seeing your letter, I rushed back, Chen Yucheng's wedding is three days later, I naturally can't miss it." ”

After the two confided in each other for a while to reunite, Han Baoying talked about the quarrel between the emperor and his wife in the palace just now, and Li Xiucheng frowned and said: "It's been more than 20 years, Your Majesty and his wife are still like this, and we outsiders can't persuade them." The flame of Han Baoying's gossip ignited and asked, "Alas, did you say that Your Majesty will accept a concubine this time?" Li Xiucheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Quarrel and quarrel, I guess, Your Majesty will still not accept a concubine, and Miss Zhou and Miss Mu will not be happy to enter the palace." ”

Han Baoying pouted and said, "Is it just like this to make the two good girls of the family unclear for a lifetime?" Li Xiucheng said: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that His Majesty's family affairs are still state affairs." However, I heard that His Majesty gave the two girls and their families the best treatment, and if they had children, they would still be brought into the palace and given to the queen to raise, and the title may not be in this life. ”

Han Baoying sighed and said, "It's really pitiful for the two girls, sacrificing their happiness for the promotion of this monogamy." Then she glanced at Li Xiucheng and said, "Will you also plan to take a concubine?" Li Xiucheng took Han Baoying's hand and said with a smile: "I have no money, I can't afford to pay the concubine tax, and I will only be enough to support you in this life......"

Three days later, the wedding of Chen Yucheng and Zeng Wanmei was held in Chen Yucheng's mansion in the capital, and almost all the important generals of the military regions returned to the capital to attend their weddings.

Chen Yucheng, Tan Shaoguang, Li Xiucheng, Lin Fengxiang and other generals have always fulfilled their duties and served the country loyally. Chen Yucheng died of illness in 1890 on the way to Russia, which was the third time that China and Russia broke out in Central Asia. Tan Shaoguang has been running the northern Xinjiang, and later after Xiao Yungui died of illness, he was transferred to the commander of the Beijing garrison, replacing the elderly Li Xiucheng, and became the Dinghai Shenzhu to consolidate the succession of the new monarch, and died of illness in the capital in 1895. Li Xiucheng has been serving as the commander of the garrison of the capital, and when the old and new emperors alternated, he unfortunately became the funeral object of the change of imperial power, and was finally dismissed.

Lin Fengxiang was constantly transferred between various military regions, and in his later years fought against the French army invading Vietnam in the Southwest Military Region, and the prestige of this veteran general did not fall for decades. After the end of the war with the French army, when Lin Fengxiang returned to Beijing to report on his work, he drank several bowls of spirits in public at the celebration banquet, and after laughing three times, he actually died without a problem, which was surprising. Insiders know that the old general is running out of oil, but those who don't know say that the emperor is clearing the way for the crown prince to take over. This seems to make sense, after all, Lin Fengxiang has been in the nine major military regions, and his cronies and generals are almost all over the world, and his immortal new monarch's throne seems to be unstable.

Others, such as Luo Gang, Xu Naizhao, Wang Minyun, Lin Qirong, Tongbao Monk and others, also have their own opportunities. Luo Jian served as the commander of the navy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for fifteen years, and then died in a traffic accident, and together with the monk Tongbao, he laid the foundation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's navy, and is known as the father of the navy. Monk Tongbao served as the commander of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Combined Fleet, and participated in the Battle of the Philippines between China and Spain, and the Battle of the South Seas with the Netherlands, laying the foundation for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to stabilize the southern sea frontier, and spent his later years in Zhoushan. Xu Naizhao and Wang Minyun successively took over the post of prime minister, especially Wang Minyun was the longest prime minister after Zuo Zongtang, and during his long tenure of 18 years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also carried out a change of emperor.

Lin Qirong served as the commander of the overseas legion for a long time, and together with the fleet of the Tongbao monk, he opened up territory for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanyang, and spent his later years in Batavia, where he slaughtered too many natives in Indonesia and other places, and was called Lin Tuzi.

After Chen Yucheng's wedding, Xiao Yungui summoned a person alone, this person is the current Minister of Defense Li Kaifang, Li Kaifang has been serving as the chief of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army, Xiao Yungui has always been very worried about this person...... (To be continued......)
